PayPalWith the announcement and trailer of Dying Light 2 [Official Site] shown off during E3, we reached out to Techland to see if the sequel will be on Linux.
Considering the original is one of my favourite games, I was hoping they would eventually confirm it for Linux again. Sadly though, they haven't yet made a decision.
Here's what they said to us when we emailed them:
About your question: I am afraid it is too early to give the definitive answer yet as our development team is working hard on Dying Light 2. Confirmed platforms are Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, but knowing that we have devoted Dying Light community on Linux, this version is definitely in their consideration.
So if you do want it on Linux, you should probably let them know.
You can see some gameplay below:

Yes, but we should only pay if the hard work is made by the developer...
No, you should pay if you play it.
It was meant as in not going to buy it unless it's available on our platform!

I might get lots of hate, but I don't think that developers want my money if they don't offer version for my operating system.
I would even pay for it right now if they told me it would be in Linux.
Done it before with crowdfunding projects :-D

Solution: Don't play it.
Quoting: pete910May be YT's compression but cant say it's that impressive tbh.
Do we have an open world game on Linux that looks better? Or even as good. Dying Light looked great too, but they've upped the game here.
See more from me
